Grandmas Secret Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy.
• 3. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips and the walnuts until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• 4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Grandma's advice :) it was so hard to do...but well worth the wait...

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, flour, and salt. Set aside.
• Now, with a mixer, mix the butter and sugars together well. Eventually the mixture will become fluffy.
• Now, on low speed, begin adding the remaining ingredients slowly while continuing to mix. Add the chocolate chips last and mix them in shortly.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 60 hours (2 1/2 days). Really, any time between 48 and 72 hours (2 and 3 days) will work well. Shoot for 60 hours.
• When it is time to bake preheat your oven to 350.
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper and place ping pong ball sized dough balls 2 1/2"-inches apart on your baking sheets. Suggested to lightly sprinkle salt on top before baking.
• Bake for 17 minutes. Once baking is complete, transfer to wire racks to cool for 12-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the first five ingredients.
• After creaming the first five ingredients add the last four and make sure everything is mixed together well.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls on to cookie sheets and bake for 9-10 minutes.
• For M&M cookies: Replace chocolate chips with M&M plain baking bits.
